Who's Mother?

Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, born into an ordinary family in an ordinary city, went on to become a globally revered messiah.

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.

The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless

5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)

Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.

He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.

Jassa Singh - The man who rebuilt Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple)

In 1762, Punjab was fighting for freedom. Ahmad Shah Abdali (Durrani) was the karta dharta of Punjab in those days.

1762 was known for Sikh genocide/massacre as 25k - 30k sikhs (expected either 1/3rd or half the population of Sikhs) were slaughtered at Kup.

Ahmad Shah Durrani was part of a long line of conquerors that invaded Punjab since Mahmud of Ghazni in 1001.

Ahmad Shah then marched to Sri Harmandir Sahib & blew it up using gunpowder without leaving a single brick intact.

Too sprinkle salt on their wounds he filled the holy tank with the carcasses of dead cows. (Can Sikhs of today forget this?)

This boosted Ahmad Shah's confidence.

Around Diwali, he decided to finish off the Sikhs at Lahore with his 50000 Afghan soldiers.

The Sikhs were waiting to take revenge. They charged the Afghans with their war cry "Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguruji ki fateh" and forced Ahmad Shah to draw off his army.

Once in 1761, Ahmad Shah was returning triumphant after winning the third battle of Panipat against Marathas. He was taking his booty of 22000 hindu and muslim women to be sold in Afghanistan.

Jassa Singh rescued these women and gallantly escorted them to their families.

Indians are famouspfor Jugaad.

Most parents are worried about their child and always make sure that they aren't addicted to drugs.

Each one listed below is addictive and has several side effects.

So let me tell you the 'jugaad'

1. Iodex Sandwiches

Applying a generous amount of Iodex balm on a slice of bread making the grossest sandwich ever! But they eat it as it gives them a certain high & makes them feel light headed.

2. Drinking hand sanitizer/after shave lotions

One large bottle of hand sanitiser contains alcohol equivalent to 32 vodka shots!

3. Inhaling whiteners (liquid)/ink/deodorants

Again it gives a high. The habit might begin with a friend suggesting a way to relax after a rigorous period of studying or from information gleaned online or from the peer group.

"Let us understand the Left Ecosystem"

*CIA says Soviets planted fake reports in Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, PTI, ABP, Statesman, National Herald, etc in its declassified documents titled as “The Soviets in India: Moscow’s Major Penetration Program”

This 32 page document prepared in the late 80s was declassified by CIA. As usual, Indian media reported only the first 14 pages which described how political parties and leaders from Congress, CPM and CPI were funded by the Soviets.

Yes you read it right, "Political Parties, Congress, CPM, and CPI were funded by the Soviets."

The remaining pages gave evidence of the funds to media houses, cultural & intellectual organisations by the Soviets.

The media houses were given funds to produce 'fake news' namely :

1. US was breeding killer mosquitoes in Pakistan border to attack Indian population

2. CIA was behind Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

3. The US Defence Intelligence Agency was funding the Sikh terrorists.

200 Indians (staff at Soviet embassy in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai) entertained journalists to plant KGB agendas. They had a budget of 20 million dollars allocated for propaganda activities.

🇮🇳 lost heroes

In Punjab, among those who are aware of the history of revolutionary movement against the British Empire, the names of 3 Maharashtrian men are taken with special respect.

Savarkar, Rajguru & the generally little-known martyr, Vishnu Ganesh Pingale.

1/

Actually, Pingale was one of those who had inspired Bhagat Singh, as Bhagat Singhji's diaries show.

Pingale was born on Jan 2, 1889 in Maharashtra & was hanged to death at Lahore on Nov 16, 1915.

2/

Along with Lala Hardayal, and Dr.  Khankhoje, he formed a revolutionary organization in the US, called the 'Ghadar Party'.

A man with great organisational skills, intelligence, & dynamism apart from his native Marathi, he had mastered Hindi, English, Urdu and Punjabi.

3/

While at school, dressed as a Sadhu, Pingale had traveled all over India. This art of disguise later became very useful to him as a revolutionary.

He earned a mechanical engineering degree while in the US.

4/

As the 1st World War raged,Pingale came to India with the aim of liberating the country through armed revolution

He traveled throughout the Punjab region & met various revolutionaries.
He further traveled to Calcutta, Benaras & other places inviting people to join the revolution

EVOLUTION OF CROWNS

The ancient Indian kings called a head crown as a Mukut and it would mostly constitute of a golden ornamental headgear like an oval cap with gems.

Sometimes it would also include a halo circle to show the divinity of the king

1/7

As it was considered that kings were appointment by the gods themselves. Example the kings of mewar considered themselves to be the ‘Diwan of eklingji')

But in most cases very few Mukut with halo effect have been found.

2/7

Samudragupta in the gupta era coin. You can see the helmet like headwear on him.

Till gupta era the solid golden head wear was used in most days of the monarch.

But since the onset of 8th century it reduced in usage and was now used only as a ceremonial headwear.

3/7

Whereas earlier the Maharaja had to wear the mukut whenever his court was in session.

Still mukut was being used prominently for ceremonial activities till recent times.

4/7

But as times past the style of headwear also changed.

The kings mostly wore turbans ordained with pearls and gems while rarely anyone wore a true Mukut after 16th century.
